Brands that sell products and services targeting babies and kids will be at an advantage when expanding in the multicultural markets.

Research has found that more than 25% of the Hispanic population is under the age of 9. Kids make up of the majority of the audience with Procter & Gamble Co. being one of the top spenders.

However, brands need to be smart about advertising in English as a consumer survey showed that 56% of the Hispanic population preferred companies that advertised in Spanish.
